No jokes, has anyone done work to understand why the internet generations are so crazy? And I include mine in this. It's not that I don't want to find friends, it's that I've stopped trying because odds are they'll turn insane in some way I have to stop being friends with...
this sort of crap will keep happening until people start getting way way waaay more upset so that whoever's running these things becomes afraid to get it wrong and wants to prove it was done correctly. but everyone knows cheating won't get you in trouble with anyone these days
The LA Mayor race is all but over.
Nithya Raman destoys everyone in Sat 6/6 vote drop.
23,514 Raman
19,312 Bass
10,336 Pratt
She is now only 7,500 votes behind Pratt and might make them up in the next drop.
Very odd that she continues to gain on Bass.
All I'm saying is Guild Wars 3 better not have replaced awesome Charr with boring bears. I am unbiased, I promise, I have a whole character on my account that isn't Charr (but seriously, they're not gonna cut Charr, right? ... right??)
maybe I'm being unreasonable but shows like Summer Game Fest would be way more interesting if you were only allowed to show games with release dates in the current year
My first OPNsense issue. There were supposed to be plugins for dynamic DNS, but each one has very recently gone "we're deleting everything except cloudflare, just move to that." What sort of patch note is that? You all JUST HAD everything, I'm not moving to cloudflare wtf
I yap on twitter because nobody else I know really cares, so you get to hear how my OPNsense router journey includes finally trying Tailscale so my phone always looks like it's my home IP using my ad blocking DNS. All the pain of changing routers might be worth it JUST for this
the only thing this will do is make people hide that they're using AI in any way, because how are you going to know? people copying code they don't understand has been a thing since at least the dawn of the internet, soooo ... good luck, I guess
Anthropic is calling for top AI labs to weigh slowing the pace of development, suggesting that AI systems are advancing so rapidly that they may soon be able to improve themselves without human intervention in ways that could pose societal risks. https://t.co/8c7xkeX17B
At least someone's celebrating... I'm fairly pissed that, at bare minimum, we're not being absolutely buried in American flag versions of literally everything, because otherwise there's nothing happening at all
(For anyone reading this later, it seems to be because the store saw everyone had a copy of marathon for the free weekend and the deluxe discounted itself because it automatically excluded the copy of the game, but then everyone's free copy gets turned off and RIP)
I'm confused, the screenshot of the Deluxe Edition clearly lists Marathon as a bullet point. Was there another one that was an upgrade add-on, or did they really screw it up that bad? (Don't get me wrong, I want to laugh at Bungie, but I need verified laughs.)
For anyone that purchased Marathon Deluxe Edition at the reduced $14 rate after adding the trial, you'll need to attempt to request a refund https://t.co/L1HIumTNmF
Seems like they added a description and now states Deluxe Edition purchases during Open Play Week only gives the add-ons, not the game
I'm convinced there's some insurance scheme unknown to us common folk where if a movie or a game fails to perform, there's some sort of pay out involved, because that's the only thing I can think of that explains why EVERYONE'S INTENTIONALLY DRIVING EVERY FRANCHISE OFF A CLIFF
And even better, when I had to look up something about interfaces, I found threads of people asking questions and there were real answers and not just developers being spiteful demons like a certain other firewall project that I will refuse to acknowledge henceforth
Why pfsense is garbage, a short story:
- need package? update pfsense
- backup config
- version update fails (of course)
- no internet, tether to phone
- NEED ACCOUNT TO DOWNLOAD NOW
- finally get new version, restore fails
- screw it, reinstall previous version
- RESTORE FAILS
It took a day, but I'm on OPNsense now. UI is a little odd, but overall DANG IT'S NICE. New rules are great. There's built-in DNSBL, so it just has a simple pfBlocker-NG ready to go. Logs by default are clear about what rules allow/deny a connection, IT'S SO EASY TO ADJUST
How can amazon be so braindead? Who says with a straight face "we can't do this because it's too much for fans of Stargate"? Like how can you possibly not grasp that if fans who watched Stargate for over a decade enjoy this, that's actually the best possible outcome? WHAT
EXCLUSIVE: The new "Stargate" TV series has been axed at Amazon.
The show was first announced with a series order in November 2025 and hailed from showrunner Martin Gero, who was a writer on "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate: Atlantis." Sources say Amazon execs were concerned that Gero's take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise's already dedicated fanbase.
